Atheist News Podcast Project

Hey guys.

I probably shouldn't put this off anymore, so I'm just going to jump on it and improvise. I'm pretty sure the show is over. It was a ton of fun doing it, but with work and my son and my wife in school I simply don't have time to do it anymore.

Other folks have offered to take over but I don't really feel comfortable with that. Quit while you're ahead, sez I.

Anyhow, I payed for another year of hosting, so the archive of podcasts will be available for at least that long.

I really enjoyed podcasting, so I might do something again in the future. I'll keep you posted.

The first country in history to grant human equality by the majority of the people without the intervention of legislatures or courts. The citizens said all are equal. I could not be more proud of my ancestors home as a child of the Irish Diaspora. It literally brought tears to my eyes.

I note that gospel of prosperity pastor Creflo Dollar is under scrutiny again for asking his congregation to buy him a $65 million Gulfstream G650 executive jet. Can we hope that this time the federal government gets spine enough to actually take action and throw this swindler in the slam?

What I don't get is how the Rs keep getting with the glaring hypocrisy of pretending they're for "small government" when they want the government to control everything except their business practices. They portray themselves as worshippers of liberty when there's nothing they detest more than people who use their liberty.

One thing I do find interesting and curious about elections and outcomes is the equality of all sides views of candidates. Most people distrust political candidates and know they lie to get in office and lie to stay there, and that distrust is an area where the right becomes successful in state and local elections. Republicans successfully portray themselves as small government anti-Washington candidates and Democrats portray themselves as big government candidates in seeking to expand programs. Where Democrats lose is the inherent knowledge people have in not wanting untrustworthy people running more and more programs and having greater control of peoples lives as a result. Regardless of how necessary a program is, when people don't like politicians, anything they propose is crap. Democrats need to figure out how to support programs without promoting an increase in the power of the corrupt politicians by expanding government. A near impossible task in my mind.
